Professional Language Services

The demographics of the state of Kentucky are rapidly changing to reflect a significant increase in the Hispanic and Latino population. The Department of Hispanic Studies has an established program that provides professional language services to the community and to the state of Kentucky. At the same time, the program provides our students opportunities for professional development while earning an extra income. Our graduate students do all translations, design the pedagogical materials for the workshops, and serve as instructors or facilitators in bilingual settings. A faculty member in Hispanic Studies supervises their work to ensure the quality of the services rendered. Further, as a non-profit operation, the revenues are used to help sponsor graduate students attend regional and national conferences where they present academic papers.

Our language services include:
